Portland whimsical painter. Looking for Surfaces to ruin beautifully.

Hand dyed and painted boots

“You’ve got your choice in men’s footwear, as long as it’s black, brown or gray.”

Is what the shoe shop salesman told me sheepishly.

Fuck. That. I found the most comfortable and plain workboots, stripped them, hand-dyed them, finished them and then painted them.

I swear the internet has the worst archives of ancient Scandinavian runes and their meanings, so for all I know these boots actually say “your wax birds bleat menacingly”.

Leather boots, leather dye, acrylic paint
